OxTalks will soon move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events.' There will be a need for an OxTalks freeze. This was previously planned for Friday 14th November – a new date will be shared as soon as it is available (full details will be available on the Staff Gateway).
In the meantime, the OxTalks site will remain active and events will continue to be published.
If staff have any questions about the Oxford Events launch, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
You are warmly invited to the launch of the report, “Acceptability and Feasibility of a Brief Intervention to Enhance Resilience Among Young People and Their Families in India and Kenya.” This groundbreaking study explores the design and implementation of a five-session intervention that combines Life Skills Education (LSE) with a family resiliency model, tailored to meet the cultural and contextual needs of rural and semi-rural communities in India and Kenya. The intervention focuses on equipping adolescents and their families with practical skills such as decision-making, emotional expression, and cooperation, fostering resilience in low-resource settings.
The panel, chaired by Baroness Jan Royall, Principal of Somerville College, will delve into the study’s findings, the innovative methods used to adapt mental health interventions across cultural contexts, and the potential for scaling these approaches to support vulnerable populations globally. The discussion will also explore the critical role of interdisciplinary collaboration in advancing mental health research and policy.
